The Nike and the Jumpman Air Jordan 1 KO is back and better than ever in its ‘Storm Blue’ colourway.

The Air Jordan 1 ditched leather for canvas in 1986. Named the Air Jordan KO, they feature ‘AJKO’ on the wings logos instead of ‘Air Jordan’. The reasoning as to why this change was made or, the naming of the shoe the Air Jordan K.O. is still unknown to this day. While the original Air Jordan 1 is highly coveted, sought after and hard-to-find, the AJKO is all that, and then some. Whilst there were only a handful of original colorways released in ’86 the Jumpman have finally decided to bring it back in all its original glory and a ‘Storm Blue’ colourway to boot.

How many of you can tell us what the ‘KO’ stands for?
